No fuse. Stock they had about 65mm of tiny wire that acted as the fuse. As you have fitted the falcon alternator, you now need a 100A fuse between the battery and the alternator charge wire.

Cool thanks Steve, I do have a 100A fuse between the alternator and battery but I might put a 100A as per diagram too (because I just bought one anyway)
I think knowing the fuel cut solenoid now I will be able to complete the plugs.

?? That's a bit confusing Jon. There should be one charge wire between the alternator lug and the +ve terminal of the battery. It needs one 100A fuse on it. There shouldn't be anywhere else to put another fuse.

The factory yellow/white lead from the alternator to battery, which contained the fusible link is too small and needs to be replaced with a cable that's equivalent to the Falcon wiring. As the Falcon charge wire goes via a neat little fuse box which contains a 100A fuse, that why I'd use that and eliminate the Suzuki charge wire.

I have an upgraded wire and a 100A fuse between the alternator and the battery positive terminal.
the new fuse is going between the battery positive terminal and the W/Y wire that feeds into the ignition and dissapears into the electrical tape on the loom.
